		Yup, they concentrated on research and not on training.

		I'm coming up to a situation just like that the first PBW game I've played. We started it out as a PBeM, it's been going on for months now and, well, we terrans probably can't hold off the Klackons for much longer. And we don't even have a star destroyed to nuke them with ourselves.  
 
On the bright side, I saw the writing on the wall many months ago, and so it has provided a really good backstory for all my subsequent races...who are all exiles and hate Klackons.  
 
Still, it's always sad to see an empire you nourished for so long die...

 It depends uppon the conclusion. Did they sacrifice themselves for anything ? Did they achieved their goals ?
